your state voted for george romney -- mitt romney, rather, maybe george romney had a chance, too. you won 55% to 39%. how do you represent a state that voted for you and romney? >> well, it's not hard as long as you are trying to solve problems instead of play politics. i think compromise is what the senate should be about. it's what it's always been about in our history. and finding -- our founding fathers were really smart. they have the people -- people have equal power regardless of what size or kind of state your from. and that is supposed to be an environment where we come together and hash out our differences and agree to compromise. so, i want to be part of that middle that finds those compromises, which we have to have to solve hard problems. >> well, my belief is i want to compromise, too, but i don't think you'll get the liberal core of your party to support anything unless they see the vampire bites on the necks of the republicans. until they see them taking a piece out of them on the issue of high income taxation. are they going to give on entitlements. they're not go
